This is a Continuation-in-Part application of patent application Ser. No. 202,860, filed Jun. 6, 1988, now abandoned.
The invention is concerned with radiation-interactive devices whose operation involves excitation of carriers in quantum wells by electromagnetic radiation.
While, largely in the context of terrestrial optical communications at currently favored wavelengths in the vicinity of 1 micrometer, devices for the detection and modulation of visible and near-visible electromagnetic radiation have evolved rapidly, the field of infrared devices has remained relatively less well-developed. Practical long-wave infrared detection devices have been based on opto-electronic activity in materials such as mercury-cadmium telluride or doped silicon, quantum-well detectors using compound semiconductor materials having received mostly theoretical attention. Representative reports concerning the latter are cited as follows:
D. D. Coon et al., "New mode of IR Detection Using Quantum Wells", Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 45 (1984), pp. 649-651, disclosing infrared radiation detection as based on charge-depletion in localized impurity levels in semiconductors to which an electric field is applied, charge-depletion taking the form of photoemission from a single Alx Ga1-x As/GaAs/Aly Ga1-y As symmetric quantum well;
J. S. Smith et al., "A New Infrared Detector Using Electron Emission from Multiple Quantum Wells", Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology, Vol. B1 (1983), pp. 376-378, disclosing the use of a plurality of GaAs/GaAlAs quantum wells from which electrons are ejected upon excitation by free-carrier absorption--see also U.S. Pat. No. 4,620,214, issued Oct. 28, 1986 to S. Margalit et al.; and
L. Esaki et al., "New Photoconductor", IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin, Vol. 20 (1977), pp. 2456-2457, disclosing a superlattice structure in which electrons in the lowest sub-band of quantum wells are essentially immobile, while electrons in a second sub-band have significant mobility.
Typically also, proposals have been made as predicated on photonic excitation of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band, the following being cited further as representative in this respect:
U.S. Pat. No. 4,525,731, issued Jun. 25, 1985 to T. I. Chappel et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,439,782, issued Mar. 27, 1984 to N. Holonyak; U.S. Pat. No. 4,607,272, issued Aug. 19, 1986 to G. C. Osbourn; U.S. Pat. No. 4,450,463, issued May 22, 1984 to R. Chin; and F. Capasso et al., "New Avalanche Multiplication Phenomenon in Quantum-well Superlattices: Evidence of Impact Ionization Across the Band-edge Discontinuity", Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 48 (1986), pp. 1294-1296.
A detector based on the generation of photoelectrons by resonant intersubband absorption and tunneling has been disclosed by B. F. Levine et al., "Quantum-well Avalanche Multiplication Initiated by 10-μm Intersubband Absorption and Photoexcited Tunneling", Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 51 (1987), pp. 934-936. The invention as described below is motivated by the desire to provide for increased efficiency in the collection of photocarriers while, simultaneously, dark-current is kept low.
The invention is predicated on photonic excitation of carriers in quantum wells having a single bound energy state. In the case of carrier electrons, excitation is from a conduction-band bound energy state into the conduction band continuum; in the case of carrier holes, excitation is from a valence-band bound energy state into the valence band continuum. Collection of carriers in the presence of a bias voltage results in an electrical effect such as, e.g., a change in voltage, current, or resistance. In the interest of providing for a single bound energy state, quantum wells have relatively narrow width and, in the interest of limiting dark-current, barriers are relatively wide. Barrier width in preferred devices is significantly greater than quantum-well width; preferably, barriers are at least three times as wide as quantum wells.
Preferred radiation detectors include a plurality of quantum wells as realized by means of a semiconductor superlattice, i.e., layered structure in which interleaved layers serve as quantum-well and barrier layers. For example, a superlattice can be made as a heterostructure in which quantum-well and barrier layers are made of different materials; also, superlattice structure can be produced in a homogeneous material by periodically varying doping levels. Peak absorption wavelength depends on the choice of materials, and devices of the invention can be designed for infrared absorption at preferred wavelengths from 3 to 15 μm, longer as well as shorter wavelengths not being precluded.
Preferred devices of the invention have high-speed capability and are suitable for use in heterodyne receivers. Such devices can be used in optical communications and especially in outer space, e.g., between satellites. Also, infrared radiation detection in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention can be used for terrain mapping and infrared viewing.
In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment, disclosed quantum-well structures can serve as light modulators.

FIG. 2 is a schematic energy band diagram corresponding to the radiation detector of FIG. 1 as electrically biased, and as implemented using a semiconductor heterostructure;

FIG. 4 is a diagram which graphically shows responsivity as a function of photon energy incident on a device as depicted in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a schematic side view of an array of radiation detectors in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the invention;

FIG. 9 is a schematic side view of a radiation-interactive device including a variable voltage source, as well as a grating for optical coupling through the substrate in accordance with further preferred embodiments of the invention;
FIGS. 10-12 are schematic energy band diagrams corresponding to a preferred radiation detector or radiation modulator device of the invention in which barrier layers in a semiconductor heterostructure have graded composition, FIG. 10 corresponding to zero bias, FIG. 11 corresponding to forward bias, and FIG. 12 corresponding to reverse bias;
FIG. 13 is a schematic energy band diagram of an alternate preferred detector or modulator structure in which barrier layers have a stepped asymmetrical energy profile; and
FIG. 14 is a diagram which graphically shows responsivity as a function of photon energy incident on an experimental detector device which comprises a heterostructure having energy band diagrams as shown in FIG. 11 and 12.
FIG. 1 shows substrate 11 having an angled face adapted for incident radiation hν. Substrate 11 supports a first contact layer 12, interleaved first and second semiconductor layers forming superlattice 13, and second contact layer 14. When a bias voltage is applied to contact layers 12 and 14, electrical current between such contacts is directly related to the intensity of radiation hν.
FIG. 2 shows quantum wells 21 between barriers 22 as corresponding to first and second semiconductor layers forming superlattice 13 of FIG. 1. There is a single bound energy state 24 for carriers (electrons, holes) in quantum wells 21, and barrier height is chosen such that incident radiation hν of interest excites bound carriers into the continuum energy band 23. In the interest of limiting dark-current, barriers are significantly wider than wells.
FIG. 3 shows V-shaped quantum wells 31 between barriers 32 as produced by locally heavy dopant concentrations ("spikes") in an otherwise essentially homogeneous semiconductor material. There is a single bound energy state 34 for carriers in quantum wells 31, and barrier height is chosen such that incident radiation hνof interest excites bound carriers into the continuum energy band 33. Again, barriers are relatively wide, the width of quantum wells and of barriers conveniently being defined as measured at the level of the bound energy state. Other well profiles such as, e.g., square and trapezoidal shapes are not precluded.
FIG. 4 shows, along the horizontal axis, photon energy hν in units of cm-1 (or wavelength λ in units of μm) and, along the vertical axis, responsivity Rv in units of V/W). The graph is based on measurements made at a temperature of 77K and with a bias voltage of 4 V across a 50-period superlattice of interleaved layers of gallium arsenide and aluminum gallium arsenide as further described in Example 1 below.
FIG. 5 shows prism 51 attached to (transparent) substrate 11 as adapted for coupling of incident radiation hν to detectors 52, each such detector being as depicted in FIG. 1. A preferred radiation coupler serves to direct radiation such that the electric field vector of electromagnetic radiation incident on the superlattice has a component perpendicular to the superlattice. Such coupling function may alternatively be performed by a grating.
FIG. 6 shows detectors 52 on (transparent) substrate 11, incident radiation hν being coupled to detectors 52 by means of reflector gratings 61. A detector array as depicted (and as understood in two dimensions) can serve, e.g., as a focal-plane medium in a camera. Instead of gratings, diffusely scattering (roughened) surfaces can be used for coupling.
FIG. 7 shows two superlattices 71 and 72 with respective contacts 14 and 73 as supported by substrate 11 with contact 12. Superlattices 71 and 72 are made from different materials as chosen to result in absorption at different wavelengths of interest. Incident radiation components hν1 and hν2 of interest are shown as being absorbed by respective superlattices 71 and 72 and as producing voltages V1 and V2. While, for the sake of simplicity, radiation is shown incident perpendicular to the superlattice in FIG. 7, optical coupling preferably takes one of the forms as shown in FIG. 1, 5, and 6. A stack arrangement as depicted in FIG. 7 can serve as a spectrometer; alternatively, by omission of contact layer 73, a broadened spectral response can be obtained between contacts 12 and 14. To achieve broadened or otherwise tailored spectral response, grouping together of like quantum wells is not actually required so long as different quantum wells are present in appropriate numbers between contacts 12 and 14. Conversely, for applications requiring high wavelength selectivity, high uniformity of quantum wells is preferred.
By combining stack arrangements according to FIG. 7 into arrays according to FIG. 6, a color camera can be realized. A color camera can be realized also without stacked sensors, in which case detectors having peak sensitivity at different wavelengths are arranged into a focal-plane array, e.g., in periodically alternating fashion.
Preferably, a detector array is monolithically integrated with associated electronics on a common substrate as illustrated by FIG. 8 which shows detector array 81 on substrate 11, array 81 comprising a two-dimensional arrangement of detectors, e.g., in accordance with FIG. 6. The detectors are electrically connected to row-processing electronics 82 and column-processing electronics 83 which, together with image-processing unit 84, are also situated on substrate 11.
A superlattice detector structure may be realized by interleaved first and second layers of suitable Group IV, Group III-V, or Group II-VI materials. In one preferred embodiment Group IV materials are used, quantum wells are p-doped, and device operation involves excitation of valence-band carriers. Another preferred embodiment, involving excitation of conduction-band electrons, is based on the use of Group III-V or Group II-VI materials with n-doped quantum wells. Other doping arrangements are not precluded.
Readily suitable for detection at wavelengths in the "atmospheric window" from 8 to 14 μm are heterostructure devices having gallium arsenide quantum-well layers and aluminum-gallium arsenide barrier layers. For the detection of 10-μm radiation, preferred quantum-well width does not exceed 65 Angstroms, and preferred barrier width is at least 200 Angstroms. Other typical Group III-V material systems include combinations of aluminum-indium arsenide and indium-gallium arsenide, and of indium phosphide, indium-gallium arsenide, and indium-gallium arsenide-phosphide.
Further, in the interest of maintaining acceptably low dark-current, doping of n-type devices preferably is less than 5�1018 cm-3 similarly, doping of p-type devices preferably is less than 5�1019 cm-3. Dark current further depends on the shape of barriers which may be square, stepped, or graded (e.g., linearly or parabolic), and barrier shape also has an influence on the ease with which excited carriers are transported and collected.
Device manufacture typically involves superlattice fabrication on a substrate under highly controlled conditions as realized, e.g., in molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) or in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Such fabrication technologies are as reviewed, e.g., by A. Y. Cho, "Recent Developments in III-V Compound Semiconductor Materials and Devices", in: J. D. Chadi et al., ed., Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors, Springer-Verlag, 1985, pp. 1515-1524; and by R. D. Dupuis, "Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition of III-V Semiconductors", Science, Vol. 226 (1984), pp. 623-629.
Among advantages of detectors of the invention (e.g., as compared with mercury-cadmium telluride detectors) are the following:
(i) ready availability of suitable, large-size, high-quality, inexpensive substrates;
(ii) availability of well-developed Group III-V and Group IV growth, processing, and passivation technologies, especially as including molecular-beam epitaxial (MBE) deposition with high uniformity, reproducibility, and compositional control over substrates 0.3 inches in diameter or larger.
(iii) potential of monolithic integration with silicon and gallium-arsenide devices such as, e.g., field-effect transistors (FET), charge-coupled devices (CCD), and high-speed signal processing electronics;
(iv) ease of tailoring of the absorption characteristics by means of choice of composition, e.g., to vary the peak absorption wavelength over the atmospheric window; and
(v) superior thermal stability.
Further with respect to quantum-well structures as described above, on account of newly discovered negative differential photoconductance, such structures can serve to modulate light. For example, upon application of a variable voltage between contacts 12 and 14 in a device as shown in FIG. 9, the intensity of light transmitted by structure 13 is modulated in response to such voltage. Preferably, for modulator application, barriers have asymmetrical energy band profiles, including gradually changing or stepped profiles--see, respectively, FIG. 10-11 and FIG. 12. Asymmetrical profiles can also be used to advantage in detector applications, e.g., for electrically controlling or tuning a detector device with respect to wavelength corresponding to peak responsivity, and/or with respect to bandwidth. In particular, tuning can be used for real-time electrical control of an imaging detector array, thereby providing control over image quality.
FIG. 9 further illustrates coupling of light into a substrate-supported quantum-well structure by means of a grating on the substrate. As compared with the arrangement of FIG. 6, this arrangement results in physical separation of optical coupling and electrical contact structures, as may be preferred for the sake of ease of manufacture. The use of gratings on both sides of the detector structure is not precluded.
The following Examples illustrate device structure and performance as realized with a superlattice of interleaved gallium arsenide/aluminum-gallium arsenide layers. All numerical values are nominal or approximate.
On a semi-insulating gallium arsenide substrate, a 1-μm contact layer of gallium arsenide was deposited (doped n=2�1018 cm-3), followed by a superlattice detector structure consisting of 50 periods of 40-Angstrom gallium arsenide quantum well layers (doped n=2�1018 cm-3) and 300-Angstrom Al0.31 Ga0.69 As undoped barrier layers (resulting in a barrier height of approximately 250 mV). A top contact layer of 0.5 μm gallium arsenide was deposited, doped n=2�1018 cm-3, a mesa having a diameter of 200 μm was produced by standard photolithographic processing, and contact metallizations were provided by evaporation.
For the measurement of the spectral dependence of the responsivity Rv, a glowbar infrared source was used; detector temperature was 77K, bias voltage was 4 V, and load resistance was 100 kΩ. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the response is peaked at hν=1192 cm-1 and has a narrow spectral width of Δhν=155 cm-1 (i.e., Δν/ν=13%). Dark current was found to be 4.5 μA.
For a determination of detectivity, the detector noise was measured under the same conditions by means of a spectrum analyser, and the noise voltage per unit bandwidth was found to be 50 nV Hz-1/2 at an optical chopping frequency of 4 kHz, corresponding to a noise-equivalent-power of 1.7 pW Hz-1/2. Upon normalization by the device area the detectivity is obtained as D*=1.0�1010 cm Hz1/2 /W.
The speed of the detector was measured by means of radiation from a pulsed diode laser and a 50-Ω load resistor. The observed response time of 5 ns was circuit-limited, assuring device capability in the multi-gigahertz range.
A device was made as described in Example 1 above, except that barrier layer composition Alx Ga1-x As was graded linearly from x=0.25 to x=0.30. Device responsivity, measured at a temperature of 20K, is graphically shown in FIG. 14 for bias voltages of +5 V (forward bias) and -5 V (reverse bias). It is apparent that device response is bias-dependent with respect to the wavelength of peak responsivity, as well as with respect to bandwidth.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
I, sincerely appreciate your enthusiasm, but past experience does not equate to future results. Now, the coal market is in a transition, it is changing, domestic numbers are twindling while exports are increasing. What does the future hold? Who knows for sure, can change in a drop of the hat.Coal will recover as natural gas climbs. Confident that JRCC will see 20 bucks, again. Hopefully, you are correct and we test highs. Good Luck to all LONGS.
Could you comment on the issue of low number of ports to accommodate exporting and the practicality of shipping coal to far distance parts such as India and China.
True, it is more cost effective for China and India to buy their coal from Austraila, when shipping cost efficacies are taking into account. Many say that Indonesia have vast coal reserves, this would really be attractive for both India and China.True, from earth to truck, from truck to storage, from storage to load, from load to rail, from rail to port, from port to car, from car to ship, from ship to Asia, from Asia to barge/car, from rail/river to location, from location to plant, is quite a monumental task. The balance sheet curtailment, is self-evident.But, it is a avenue worth taking. What is your option? Death.Iff, I was a politician; I would use our trade policies to help stimulate the sale of coal, by means of strong arm tactics.
Sad to say, that I am ignorant of port/shipping issues, so I cannot comment. Just one little bit of information.I believe that in Washington State they are trying to accomadate coal shipping at four ports.
In the previous 2007-2008 coal rally, we did not need to export much coal at all.Existing US sea port facility is already sufficient to handle increased coal export volume. The top 10 US ports handled several billion tons of goods per year. MANY times higher than the US coal export volume in 2011 which was 107M tons.

Epstein looks to join the Cubs
"Twas the night after Theo signed and all the Cubs' fans' houses. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The uniforms were hung by the lockers with care, in the hopes that Albert Pujols would soon be there." It didn't take more than 15 minutes after reading my first article about Theo Epstein resigning from the Boston Red Sox with the intention of joining the Chicago Cubs as … Continue reading

You will receive the best Medicare Supplemental Monthly Premiums available, protection for the rest of your days and, if you opt for a Medicare Supplemental Plan F, you will never reach for your credit card to pay going forward for Medicare-covered medical necessities.
If you want the best a Medicare Supplemental Plan F is the perfect plan thanks to the following:
Medigap is an insider term applied to health care policies usually called Medicare Supplement Insurance. The Medigap Insurance Plans augment the gaps in Original coverage that aren't covered by Medicare Parts A & B.
A Medigap Plan is not an replacement for traditional Medicare like Medicare Advantage Policy, but instead works in conjunction with traditional Medicare. And, Medigap Insurance Plans differ from Medicare Advantage because they have no deductibles, no co-pays and no network restrictions that could interfere with you medical treatment.
Consider that if you choose the best Medicare Supplemental Insurance Medicare Supplemental Insurance Coverage a Medicare Supplement Plan F for example you should never need to spend a single dollar when you get medicare care in a physician's office, hospital or specialty treatment center that accepts Medicare.
When you enroll in a Medicare Supplement Plan F, whether your doctor or hospital bills are out-of-this-world, you will won't ever have to pay any additional bills for doctor or hospital bills as long as Medicare gives the OK to medical costs.
Medicare Supplemental Insurance Rates: How they give you freedom
If you require medical treatment with a hospital, doctor, or specialty treatment center, just show your Medicare Supplemental Insurance card to the specialty treatment center, doctor or hospital. Then everything will, almost magically, be taken care of for you.
Fact is,, after your claim is filed with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare usually send your claim directly to your Medicare Supplemental Insurance Carrier without you having to do anything. Then your Medicare Supplement Company will take care of the claim, most often without it ever touching human hands

What's more, when you sign up for a Medicare Supplemental Policies like the recommended Medicare Supplemental Plan F it is YOURS FOREVER as long as you keep paying the premiums. Unlike Medicare Advantage Plans, as long as you always pay the premiums every month, the Medicare Supplemental Insurance Company can never expropriate that plan away
Like all the thousands and thousands of Americans that we have advised for nearly three decades, you've discovered that trying figure out a decision on a Medigap Plans is often annoying and that's a fact. Furthermore, attempting to acquire a Medicare Supplement Provider that will help out as you assess Medicare Supplemental Insurance Policies is usually hard too.

Yes he is but he is stupid funny not asshole funny. Drake is sarcastic with his jokes. Wahlberg plays the sarcastic funny asshole role perfect in his movies.
What the hell happened! This looks nothing like what we were shown just last week at E3. The NPC look bad and when killed look like shit over exaggerated acting. Not sure i will be getting this unless it drops to $40 before my GCU discount. Or i see it running on a PS4 and it looks as good as the staged E3 play through.
That's a load of shit. This is misleading. At E3 there were 3 theater rooms. Days Gone, God of War and COD. There were barely any lines for all once we all realized we had wasted 45 min in line to watch them play the exact same walkthrough as the Sony Conference. People were lining up for GoW because they thought they were getting shirts or any kind of swag. Days Gone had the coolest shirts. Once people heard there was no swag for any of those theaters they didn't care to go. Listen t...
So basically play the game. I guess a game finally figured out how to stop friends from helping you level up quick. Played yesterday with level 16 friends and all my missions were impossible. No rank on NPC just a skull. 1 shot killed by enemy.
Ya doesn't look to good but what do you expect from 9 year old tech. Besides games always look worse on multiplayer over campaign. Time to move forward. Now with the price drop hopefully the last gen hold outs can get into this gen.
Ya i don't believe this at all. It's misleading if it's accounting for moms who buy their children consoles. But no way more woman play and own consoles than men.
Oculus will not be as big as PSVR until it can run on basic PCs. I see people saying the graphics aren't as good as a high end PC with Oculus. Well most of the country can't run Super High Settings for games on their current computers. So PSVR let's say $300. Already has a huge install base with PS4 ownership. Now Oculus on a high end PC. Recommended by Oculus is a $300+ Graphics Card, I5 or greater and 8GB+ RAM. Plus $300-500 for final price of Oculus. Not gonna be popular as the...
And the one thing they still can't fix is their crap servers. It's so awesome having 300 Mbps Internet and racing towards the ball only to disappear and be shot across the screen. And with a low ping. No other game has lag. And there isn't much happening on the screen for this game to have this much lag. Still fun when you're not screaming at the game.
It would make a better comparison to do total tickets sold vs copies of MG sold. Rather than $ made. MG is a better buy even at $60 just because the amount of content and play time. If MGS:V was a 2 hour game i am pretty sure it would not sell too well. $10 i can see it selling.
Ya shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Except on phones they still haven't figured out how to end a group chat without everyone deleting the chat.
Well in the long run batteries will always cost you more. I paid $29.99 for an extra PS4 co trolley and yes a legit Sony one. It stays plugged in while I play and when I need to i switch for the other. Simple.
No one should back a big publisher or developer for a game. That's not what Kickstarter is for. This was great for YU and fans of Shenmue. YU is well known and isn't gonna run off with the money. And isn't a greedy big publisher/developer. And now with the success of KS maybe we can get HD remasters of 1 and 2.
From what I just saw at E3 it's damn amazing. Continues where the trailer ended with him crashing through wood. Gets dragged through water and as he is in air the water drips off him. Then dragged through mud and it's all over him and stays with him as you play. Then more car shoot outs and explosions. GOTY for sure!
We were promised quality games with our PS+ subscription. So far it has been a place for indie developers to off load their games in hopes we like it and will purchase the next game they make. Which is fine but Xbox Live is always giving away AA/AAA games for their subscribers. Still waiting on DriveClub.
@Spoonard Pausing the game is great if you're gonna be out for 15 min or so. But not if you're gonna be stopping the game for days or hours.
That's what i was just thinking.
@Vegamyster Of course Steam makes a lot of money almost all their games are $1 - $30 for a new game. If console games were $30 new all stores and sites would make a killing.
That's always going to be the case. There is no PC out there for $349 that can run GTA 5 4K Ultra Settings. If so please link i will buy it today. Thing with consoles is they take time for devs to get it to look amazing. While devs working on PC never optimize the old system it's always new game released and you need a pricey upgrade to handle it.
Uncharted would be great to experience all over again for the first time. The one thing i didn't enjoy about Uncharted series was the crazy monsters. The Yeti were cool but the Ghost Rider Teleporters were annoying. But i would have to say Shenmue is at the top of my list.
Don't even bother with Meta scores from "fans" you don't even have to prove you own the game to rate it. It could be a massive influx of haters rating it. That would bring down any score.
Ya pretty much. What i am seeing is most of the bashing is coming from Xbox fans and those who have yet to play it. All this complaining about it being a Gears rip off and the walking so much walking. Well most want Shenmue and don't even realize the amount of QTE and walking involved in that game. Which is one of the best games ever. Still play it to this day.

Economics research topics
The quality of research in the Economics department is reflected in the amount of leading journals that publish our work, and the calibre of existing and recent recruits to the academic staff. With our research environment and world-class facilities, we continue to attract brilliant academics from all over the world.
We look into economic theory, econometrics, public and experimental economics, and much more, which allows us to offer a truly excellent standard of teaching. Here is just a sample of what we are currently working on:
Public Economics
Right from the birth of Economics as a scientific discipline, Public Economics has always been one of its core branches. Public Economics considers how the choices of governments are made and how these choices can improve or hinder economic efficiency. Public Economics also investigates the extent to which it is possible, or desirable, for the government to change the distribution of income and wealth. To undertake this analysis, Public Economics draws upon influences from many areas of Economics. Professor Gareth Myles conducts leading research in this area, and has written numerous papers on the subject.
To border tax-adjust or not?
Professor Christos Kotsogiannis' current research explores the role of trade instruments in globally efficient climate policies, focusing on the central issue of whether border tax adjustment (BTA) is warranted when carbon prices differ internationally. This line of research shows that tariff policy has a role in easing cross-country distributional concerns that can make non-uniform carbon pricing efficient, and that Pareto-efficiency requires a form of BTA when carbon taxes in some countries are constrained, a special case being identified in which this has the simple structure envisaged in practical policy discussion. It also stresses a point that has been overlooked in the policy debate that the case for BTA depends critically on whether climate policies are pursued by carbon taxation or by cap-and-trade. Professor Kotsogiannis is also interested in the design of Pareto-efficient carbon-tax reforms, as well as issues that relate to fiscal federalism, insecure resources and international trade, and the relationship between foreign direct investment and taxation.
On pollution externalities
Dr. Sushama Murty's research on externalities such as pollution concerns problems that characterize both victims and generators of externalities. Technologies of victim firms violate the commonly evoked convexity assumption leading to failure of markets where the rights-to-pollute are traded, while the technologies of generating firms do not exhibit free-disposability of pollution. Sushama proposes a new equilibrium concept that satisfies the conclusions of the two fundamental theorems of welfare in non-convex economies with externalities. She proposes a new axiom, costly-disposability, and shows that, if an emission-generating firm's technology satisfies this axiom, then it's technology can be decomposed into a standard neoclassical intended-production technology and a nature's emission-generating set (and vice-versa). This decomposition can be very helpful in both empirical and theoretical works, such as the design of welfare-improving externality policies, measurement of green GDP, and explanation of phenomena such as the environmental Kuznets curve.
Econometric time series analysis
Professor James Davidson is interested in all aspects of econometric time series analysis, asymptotic theory, and bootstrap methods in time series. His recent research has been largely concerned with long memory models and fractional integration. His Time Series Modelling (TSM) program is widely used for teaching at Exeter. While developed primarily as a tool for econometrics research, TSM is also used for data analysis by students and practitioners worldwide.
Financial structure and macroeconomic stability
During a time when governments around the world consider more carefully how to regulate their financial sectors, it should also be important to consider what kind of financial structure is better or worse for macroeconomic stability. Dr Jack Rogers is using contemporary standard macroeconomic modelling techniques (DSGE) to analyse normative monetary policy implications of fixed versus variable rate mortgage structure. Empirical work related to this also investigates the dynamic link between base interest rates and high-street mortgage rates in the UK.
Macroeconomics, history of economics and the economics of elections.
Professor John Maloney's research in Macroeconomics has included a project funded by the Nuffield Foundation to look at the effects of central bank independence, or lack of it, on 20 Western economies. In the history of economics thought, Professor Maloney has published books on Alfred Marshall and on Robert Lowe (classical economist and 19th century Chancellor) and is currently writing up the results of a Leverhulme-funded project on economic voting and the economic modelling of voting.
The Political Economy of Sovereign Debt
The decision to repay government debt is a political decision taken by political leaders who aim at being re-elected in a principal-agent game with citizen-voters. Dr. Giancarlo Ianulardo investigates to what extent domestic debt can be considered the relevant variable in debt repayment decisions and to what extent foreign creditors can interfere in domestic political decisions. Dr Ianulardo's view is that "current research on sovereign debt is rightly focusing on the political determinants of a fragmented decision process, instead of considering the debtor as unitary actor".
Applied International Economics
Dr Carlos Cortinhas interests are in International Economics, especially in applying contemporary econometric techniques to analyse the policy implications of different monetary regimes around the world. Another area of interest is international trade policy with special emphasis on trade policy in developing countries. Dr Cortinhas welcomes research proposals in these areas by students interested in pursuing a dissertation
Decision theory, uncertainty and its applications
Professor David Kelsey's research is concerned with choice under uncertainty and its applications in economics and finance, and, in particular, with ambiguity (decisions where some or all of the relevant probabilities are unknown). A major area of research has been the impact of ambiguity in games. Applications include partnerships, asset pricing and the law of liability. Currently, Professor Kelsey is working on experimental tests of these theories. In the coming academic year, he will be working on a Leverhulme funded project on decision-making within firms. Topics studied will include how corporate governance influences behaviour in the product market. In particularly Professor Kelsey is interested in the factors which influence the way firms are organised e.g. the choice between for-profit firms, cooperatives and partnerships. This is relevant for issues such as mergers and corporate governance.
Professor Robin Mason's area of expertise is Microeconomics. As he explains, thiswork involves "understanding the decisions made by individuals and firms… and offers an incredibly powerful way to understand the behaviour that we observe: such as, why is popcorn so expensive in cinemas? Why does Legoland charge in the way that it does? What is the role of government in ensuring that markets work correctly?"
Professor Dieter Balkenborg's research centres on game theory and its foundations. A substantial part of his work addresses evolutionary game theory and the long-run outcomes of learning and evolutionary processes. He has also worked on epistemic game theory, environmental economics, contract theory and experimental economics.
Trade and commodity market issues
Professor Steve McCorriston aims to "provide detailed insights into new aspects of policy and policy reform when market structure and competition issues are prevalent." His research focuses on a wide range of policy issues, including trade policy, and trade policy reform when market structure is a characteristic of markets. He has also been investigating the issue of de-regulation of state enterprises and their impact on food security and trade, particularly in the context of the reform agenda in India. Currently, the impact of events arising on world commodity markets on domestic economies has attracted research funding from the European Commission. Collaborative research on tax issues and foreign direct investment is also in progress.
Theoretical, Computational and Experimental Economics
Professor Todd Kaplan's research spans all of these areas. His theoretical work includes research on price competition, cost sharing and patent races. Todd has also made earlier contributions to the computational field. Probably his best known work is what is known as the 'Kaplan' strategy. This was a simple computer strategy that was written to compete in a double auction, a well studied environment in Experimental Economics which is a simplified environment of a stock exchange. It won a well advertised tournament sponsored by the Santa Fe Institute.
Dr Miguel A Fonseca believes that, "economics experiments are useful to test the validity of economic theories, test-bed new market mechanisms and better understand the fundamental principles behind individual and strategic decision-making." He is currently using experimental methods to study behaviour in Microeconomic models, and specifically in issues relating to Industrial Economics, Public Economics and Game Theory.

This is a really hot and very simple to make tomato soup with lots of texture. Add Chillies to taste but if you like it hot 3 Scotch Bonnets do the trick. I also add 3 sliced generic chillies as a "warning" to anyone that is about to eat it that it's hot.

Whizz everything apart from the sausage in a food processor until you get a consistency you like.
Cut the sausage and generic chillies into slices then heat it all in a pan until piping hot.
All done.

This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101--our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have:
A DisplayThe first--and most important--item you'll need is a 3D-ready display--whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect.
A SourceWhile your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3.
ContentIn order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience.
3D GlassesAll 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display--for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV.
HDMI CableTo connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a hgh-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation--with bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)--will be able to carry the 3D signal without any loss of quality.

So far, I've downloaded the latest Jython source posted on http://www.jython.org/downloads.htmlI've installed "ant" and "antlr3" using apt-get. At first, I got a NoClassDefFoundError for org.antlr.Tool, which was solved by export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/*"So now, I can call$ ant developer-buildand it at least tries to build, but I get a lot of errors like package javax.servlet does not existpackage org.antlr.runtime does not existcannot find symbol [javac] symbol : class ParserRuleReturnScope...So presumably $CLASSPATH is set up well enough for ANT to run, but not correctly, since these various libraries aren't found during compilation? I'll keep working on this but it will probably take me a bit of time to learn all of the tools.

Reuven Tamiroff, a Holocaust survivor, has never been able to speak about his past to his son, a young man who yearns to understand his father's silence. As campuses burn amidst the unrest of the Sixties and his own generation rebels, the son is drawn to his father's circle of wartime friends in search of clues to the past. Finally discovering that his brooding father has been haunted for years by his role in the murder of a brutal SS officer just after the war, young Tamiroff learns that the Nazi is still alive. Haunting, poetic, and very contemporary, The Fifth Son builds to an unforgettable climax as the son sets out to complete his father's act of revenge.
Elie Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. The author of more than fifty internationally acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction, he is Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities and University Professor at Boston University.

When Elie Wiesel writes of Ariel, the Angel, the Jewish child of Davarowsk, he is writing about himself. He is writing about the child that was killed by Auschwitz and the Nazi's. He is describing the Angel that was reborn from that experience which allowed him to sustain his personal journey. It is a phenomenal read as he shares his most ugly and horrifying personal experience with the reader in this work of fiction. The prisoner of the dead Jews of Davarowsk is Elie Wiesel. He is a prisoner of the dead Jews of Auschwitz. He saved himself by having faith in himself...there was litte evidence of God in Davarowsk and no evidence of God in Auschwitz. This is fascinating and quite moving to watch this unfold before your eyes as you read it. It is autobiographical when he writes that he has called upon all those whose destinies that have fashioned mine. He in fact, in order to survive, did indeed have to mobilize all the resources of his energy, imagination and memory to sustain his belief in God.......and himself. Ultimately, Ariel, the living Angel that arose from the ashes of Auschwitz and Davarowsk, saved him......and as result, Ariel is alive to save humanity.

BWW Interiew: Art That Resonates Within: Talking with Gregg Goodbrod
by Carla Maria Verdino-S�llwold - Jun 13, 2016
'We do art because of what it does for us - how it transforms us,' actor Gregg Goodbrod states with quiet conviction. 'Being an actor helps me to understand other people and see their lives and my own from a different perspective. That's why doing a play like Ghost becomes a journey that really resonates for me.' Goodbrod is speaking about his emotionally and physically demanding role as Sam Wheat in the new chamber version of the original 1990 movie and 2011 stage musical, which is currently playing at Maine State Music Theatre. He uses an example of the scene in which Sam, now a ghost, watches his beloved Molly sort through his belongs. 'I am really very Method as an actor, so I try to get into it completely and feel the actual feelings. And as I am watching Liz [Shivener] play this scene, it suddenly hits me that all these things are not what are important. If I were go, I know it is the love that I would miss. That's why I am an actor - so I can take these journeys and learn new lessons.' (more...)

BWW Interview: Lyrissa Leininger & Michael Kennedy of THE LITTLE MERMAID at Cabrillo Music Theatre
by Cary Ginell - Jul 13, 2016
One important and valuable aspect of Cabrillo Music Theatre's long tenure in Ventura County is its devotion to casting talented young local performers in as many of its productions as it can. Cabrillo's casts are usually laden with a mix of professional Equity lead performers, local and regional talent from Southern California (and sometimes elsewhere), but especially home-grown youngsters. We spoke with two of the latter during a rehearsal session recently, Lyrissa Leininger, 16, and Michael Kennedy, 19, who have already gotten their feet wet (an appropriate pre-requisite for The Little Mermaid!) in a number of Cabrillo productions.

It's hard to believe, but 2013 marks the sixth model year for the Audi S5 (it launched as a 2008 model). I've loved this coupe since the day it debuted, but if I'm honest, the thing that really made the S5 special at launch was its awesome 4.2-liter naturally aspirated V8. You know, the one from the old RS4. And the R8.
